Baptists and slavery. By: Liddle, Ernest V.. 2 no 3 Mr 1983, p 22-24. Abstract: Of all the institutions to be blamed for the American Civil War, the church must bear the major responsibility. This conclusion assumes that the thesis of James Ford Rhodes, which asserts that slavery was the cause of the conflict, is true. If the church in the United States of America had solved the problem of slavery, there probably never would have been armed conflict. This is illustrated by the attitudes and permanent schism among the Baptist denomination in 1845.

J Gresham Machen : valiant for truth. By: Borland, James A.. 2 no 3 Mr 1983, p 32-33+. Abstract: J Gresham Machen was the most influential leader of fundamentalism during the modernist-fundamentalist controversy of the 1920's and 1930's. His background, training, and life's work as a New Testament scholar (and author) at Princeton Theological Seminary are chronicled, but his primary influence is shown to be as a staunch defender of the truth against the attacks of the modernists who compromised biblical faith and practice. Yet Dr Machen's gracious manner is exhibited even in his break with Princeton and the Presbyterian Church as he founded Westminster Theological Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
